Victory/Outcome:
The Americans won the Battle of Midway because Japan's loss of four out of her six fleet carriers, as well as a large number of highly trained aircrews, ended Japanese expansion in the Pacific.

Purpose:
The purpose of this battle was the stop the expansion of the Japanese in the Pacific.

Importance:
The battle has often been called "the turning point of the Pacific". This battle permanently damaged the Japanese Navy's striking power, and the loss of operational capability. In particular, the battle inflicted irreparable damage on the Japanese carrier force,so much so that they could no longer put together a large number of fleet carriers with well-trained aircrews. Japanese planners, having failed to foresee a long war, were ill-prepared to replace the loss of ships, pilots, and sailors; at Midway, the Japanese lost as many aircrewmen in a single day as their pre-war training program had produced in a year.
